Chapter 859: Disposition (2)
A father-in-law was quickly dragged out.
Ling Chi is the most brutal death penalty in the world. Thousands of knives were cut, the flesh and blood were cut off piece by piece, and they were tortured in pain for three whole days before they could breathe.
There was no fear and resentment on Father-in-law Xi's face, but a trace of relief.
His Royal Highness Taisun is really kind-hearted, and in the end he still left a way for the queen to live.
From this day on, all the queen's close confidants will be killed, and there will be guards around them day and night. can't take half a step out of Jingyang Palace, you can only be a real crazy woman......
But no matter what, you can still survive in the end.
Queen Mother, you must hold on and live safely. The slave will serve the mother in the next life.
The queen didn't seem to see Father-in-law Xi being dragged down, she laughed to herself, muttered to herself for a while, and called herself the palace for a while.
Taisun was in no mood to watch her act anymore, and said coldly: "Father-in-law Xi is bent on taking the blame for his mother, and he will be tortured to death for three days." I don't know if the mother will feel half guilty in her heart. ”
Queen Wang's pupils contracted sharply.
Taisun's voice sounded coldly:
"If it weren't for your ambition, you could have lived in the palace in peace. I won't treat you lightly. But you are greedy for power, bent on controlling the court, and even did not hesitate to collude with the king of Qi to launch a palace rebellion. How can you be worthy of the imperial grandfather under the Nine Springs?"
"Now that you have ended up like this, you are also to blame, and you can't blame others. ”
"You are the wife of the emperor's grandfather, and I left you alive for the sake of the emperor's grandfather's face and affection. However, capital crimes can be avoided, but living crimes cannot be escaped. If you don't die, all the people around you will die for you. And the Wang family......"
Queen Wang's body trembled slightly invisibly, but she didn't look at it.
Taisun didn't say any more, and quickly turned to leave.
……
All the maids and servants who served the queen in Jingyang Palace were executed. The king's men in the palace were all killed. In the huge Jingyang Palace, only the queen who "lost her mind" remained.
The grandson specially "rewarded" eight palace maids and eight chamberlains to "serve" the king and queen.
The queen's every move, word and deed will fall in the eyes of these palace maids and attendants, and they are also in the hands of the grandson.
Concubine Dou Shu in Jingyue Palace couldn't help but sneer after learning about this.
If the queen lives like this, it is better to die happily!
has been a queen for decades, in charge of the court, and has been beautiful all his life. In the end, it ended up like this...... Thinking about Queen Wang, and then thinking about Concubine Sun Xian, who is still lying on the bed like a living dead, Concubine Dou Shu can't help but be deeply happy.
Fortunately, she didn't move!
The palace has completely changed, and if she wants to live in peace, she has to put away all the thoughts she shouldn't have.
Concubine Sun Xian, who was lying on the bed, soon knew about it, and laughed silently and happily for a long time.
Most of the concubines in the palace are sick and recuperating.
……
Two days later, Taisun summoned all the important ministers of the court above the third rank into the palace.
Elder Li Ge has retired from his old age, and now it is Fu Ge Lao who has taken over as the first assistant. A group of officials followed Fu Ge Lao into the palace. Everyone looked very serious. Among them, especially Zhao Ge's expression was the most heavy.
The King of Qi rebelled, and the evidence was conclusive, and no one would question it.
The Zhao family and the Qi Wangfu are in-laws, so they have to be implicated......
Zhao Ge Lao was wrong this time.
The Zhao family was not implicated, but was accused of being the same party as King Qi and questioned by the grandson.
“…… As an elder of the court, you don't want to be loyal to the court, but you collude with the King of Qi in private, intending to rebel, what crime should you be guilty of?"
His Royal Highness, who was gentle and graceful in the past, has become much more mature after experiencing this palace change, and he has more of the unique coercion of the superiors, and his tone is cold. It is a little similar to Emperor Yuanyou.
Zhao Ge Lao's heart was shocked, he was unwilling to admit his guilt, and was about to open his mouth to argue, but Taisun had already thrown several letters over: "Zhao Ge Lao acted carefully, and he had a private correspondence with King Qi, and did not leave a letter. It's a pity that your children and grandchildren are not as cautious as you. These letters are proof. ”
The letter was thrown to the ground, and one of them fell right in front of Zhao Gelao.
Zhao Ge Lao glanced at it hurriedly, and his heart was completely cold.
The words on the letter are the handwriting of the eldest son, Zhao Changqing.
Zhao Ge gritted his teeth and knelt down: "Your Highness, please listen to the old minister." The dog and the king of Qi are in-laws, and it is inevitable that there will be some correspondence in private. Maybe he was instigated by the King of Qi, and he was fascinated by ghosts for a while, so he moved evil thoughts. The old minister has no way to teach his son, and he is ashamed of the first emperor and His Royal Highness. It's just that the old minister has never been a fellow party of King Qi, and it is impossible to collude with each other in private to seek rebellion. I also hope that His Highness will be able to see it!"
As soon as these words came out, all the officials looked at them with disdain and disdain.
At this time, they are still trying to confuse the public and try to survive with a broken tail.
Since His Royal Highness Taisun has already raised the teacher to ask for the guilt, he must have mastered the exact evidence. Zhao Ge wanted to push his son out to take the blame, how could he do it.
Sure enough, Taisun sneered and said, "Today, I have to convince Zhao Ge Lao Xin." The order went down, and immediately the guards of the forbidden army escorted a few people into the temple.
Zhao Ge turned his head and saw the face of the person who came, and his face suddenly turned miserable.
Among these people, there are his most trusted staff, and there are secret guards who communicate messages between him and King Qi......
There are all human and material evidence, and there is no room for Zhao Ge to quibble.
Taisun coldly ordered: "Come and put Zhao Ge Lao in the prison of the Criminal Department." All the men of the Zhao family went to the prison with Zhao Ge together, and they were asked to be beheaded on a certain day when the interrogation was clear. The women and children of the Zhao family were exiled for 3,000 miles and were never allowed to return to Beijing. ”
……
In addition to Zhao Gelao, there were also two officials who had a close relationship with the King of Qi and were questioned in the name of party henchmen.
This is only the important ministers of the court above the third grade, and the rest of the henchmen of the king of Qi who are of lower grade are not qualified to enter the palace and be questioned in person, and they were directly arrested and imprisoned.
For a time, the prison of the Criminal Department was overcrowded. What awaits them is the fate of being exterminated.
All the henchmen of the king of Qi in the court were all uprooted.
Xiao Huaiyuan, as the commander of the forbidden army, privately opened the palace door, let the king's father and son and their dead soldiers enter the palace, and led the troops to rebel, which is also a heinous felony. was divided into the sentence of Ling Chi. The whole family, young and old, was beheaded.
As for King Qi's father and son, of course, they can't escape the fate of death.
Taisun did not order them to be executed immediately, but ordered them to be sent to the Qin Heavenly Prison.
Qin Tianjian has a very large demining platform. Whenever the wind and rain are combined with thunder and lightning, the huge iron pillar on the lightning platform can attract thunder and lightning in the air and lead it into the ground. This was also to avoid lightning strikes at the Imperial Palace, which was not far away.
King Qi's father and son, their hands and feet were tied to the iron pillar of the mine-guiding platform.
The grandson had an order and ordered the imperial doctor to accompany him to "take care" of King Qi's father and son. Make sure that their father and son are alive and well, and when the thunder and lightning strike, they will be struck by lightning and die.
